They decided that an unborn baby is too offensive, said Martin Kelley, co-founder of Palatine Area Catholics Respect Life. Its an ultrasound photo. Its not a picture of an aborted baby.
The banner displays a picture of the unborn baby and an elderly woman with the words Palatine Area Catholics Respect Life ... from Conception til Natural Death.
The group marched with the banner last year, but this year organizers informed them they would not be allowed unless they removed or changed the picture of the unborn baby.
Changing the photo would defeat the whole purpose of expressing our point of view that life does begin at conception, said Kelley. Its a stand on principle. It kind of defeats the purpose to have a newborn baby or a three-year old. It was necessary for our message.
The parade will take place July 2 and organizers have already approved approximately 80 groups for participation. It is sponsored and organized by Palatine Jaycees, a private service organization.
The Respect Life Group was denied participation in the Hometown Fest parade because [they] refused to work with festival organizers regarding their display materials, the Jaycees said in a statement. Unlike other groups who fully cooperate regarding display materials, the Respect Life Group refused to make any changes to the banner or even have a discussion about it.
While the Jaycees maintain they are a non-political organization that does not reject the banner for its message, they retained the right to refuse admission based on the manner in which the message was displayed. According to the Jaycees board of directors, the banner was offensive.
He said the Jaycees have utilized a double standard in censoring the pro-life message. The organizers have permitted other organizations, he added, such as Parents and Families of Lesbians and Gays, while not allowing the pro-life group.

Softball Continues to Shine, Ranked 5th in Nation
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia
softball team has moved up four spots to #5 in the latest National
Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II Top 25 poll released
Wednesday afternoon.
With the Saints rounding out the top five, this marks the highest ranking of any North Georgia team since the institution entered the NCAA and Peach Belt Conference in 2005.
The Saints, who currently sit at 16-2 overall, jump Francis Marion and are the highest ranked team in the Peach Belt Conference. The Patriots fell five spots and replace North Georgia in the ninth position as the only other conference team in the poll.
The Saints have just two losses on the season, with one coming to Alabama-Huntsville who vaulted to #2 in the country this week with a perfect 12-0 record. North Georgia also dropped a 3-2 game to Wayne State, but have run off eight straight wins to round out nation's top five teams.
North Georgia will open conference play on Thursday afternoon when they play host to Augusta State University with a doubleheader slated to start at 2:00 p.m. The Saints went 3-0 against the Jaguars last season, including taking a pair of games on the road.
The Saints were ranked 11th in the preseason poll, and moved up to 9th last week before coming in at #5 in the third poll of the season.

So can you completely mug a WR if the QB goes out of the pocket?!
Controversial (and correct?) call helps Saints' D close out Tampa Bay
On the final play of regulation Sunday, Tampa Bay receiver Mike Williams appeared to make the TD catch his team needed to force overtime against New Orleans. Williams, though, was flagged for illegal touching — he was pushed out of bounds by a Saints defender, then was the first player to touch the ball after coming back into play ([si_launchNFLPopup video='2629c76bb0dd4cd19a33fef8df24fdb0']you can watch the play here[/si_launchNFLPopup]).
And even though it's a call (and a particular set of circumstances) that we don't see much, the game's officials appear to have ruled correctly.
Article 8 of the NFL rulebook reads:
It is a foul for illegal touching if a forward pass (legal or illegal), thrown from behind the line of scrimmage:
(a) is first touched intentionally or is caught by an ineligible offensive player; or
(b) first touches or is caught by an eligible receiver who has gone out of bounds, either of his own volition or by being legally forced out of bounds, and has re-established himself inbounds.
It's point b in question here; Williams clearly stepped out of bounds prior to the touchdown catch.
So why wasn't it a penalty when the Saints knocked Williams from the field of play, well beyond the five-yard window near the line of scrimmage where defenders are permitted to contact receivers?
According to former NFL VP of officiating and current FOX analyst Mike Pereira, the answer is that Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman had left the pocket before throwing his pass — which takes an illegal contact penalty against the defense off the table.
That rule now might be debated as much as the "catch through completion" rule that cost Calvin Johnson a key TD a couple years back, but the officiating crew led by ref Jerome Bogar appears to have ruled correctly.
Of course, the Buccaneers would not have found themselves in such a dire situation late if not for a dramatic defensive stand by the Saints in the third quarter.
Tampa Bay (which led 21-0 early) trailed 28-21 in the third when Josh Freeman and Vincent Jackson hooked up for a fortuitous 95-yard completion. From his own 4-yard line, Freeman unleashed a bomb down the left sideline that made its way to Jackson despite two Saints defenders closing in coverage. Jackson bobbled the ball briefly, then took off for the end zone.
He never made it. Malcolm Jenkins tracked Jackson down just one yard shy of the goal line. The Saints defense — and some shaky play calling from the Bucs — then made Jenkins' hustle stand up by stuffing LeGarrette Blount on three straight runs and sacking Josh Freeman on 4th-and-goal.
That dramatic goal line stand kept the Saints in the lead … and their late penalty-aided stop sealed the deal.
The Buccaneers briefly thought they had scored on the play prior to Williams' illegal-touching call, too. Again, it was Jackson at the heart of things — he came open in the back of the end zone, only to come down out of bounds after leaping to haul in a Freeman pass.
New Orleans' defense has been, deservedly, much-maligned this season after allowing 30.8 points per game in Weeks 1 through 5. Sunday seemed as if it would be more of the same, as Tampa Bay scored on its first play from scrimmage (after a Drew Brees interception), then found the end zone again on its second and third possessions.
The Saints tightened things up after that, however, shutting out the Bucs from then until a Freeman-to-Dallas Clark TD with 4:10 left in the game.
The difference between New Orleans and Tampa Bay on Sunday was a matter of inches, proven true on a number of occasions: Jenkins' tackle, the Saints' goal-line stand, Jackson's inability to get his feet down in the end zone and, finally, the decisive penalty call.
New Orleans will take it — and the Bucs have little to complain about besides their own inability to finish off their opportunities.
<i>Tampa Bay (which led 21-0 early)</i>
No, Tampa led 14-0 early, and later 21-0 early.
John Lynch was in the booth saying that Williams re-established his in-bounds stance, which only is true for kickoffs. Way to know the rules, former player and television booth analyst.
@avernalaw Thought the same thing when I watched the play. You'd think a former safety might know something about rules affecting receivers...nah.

The sys admin's daily grind: Swaks
For the Protocol
Searching for errors on an SMTP server via Telnet and test mails can seem like a never-ending obstacle course. The utility called Swaks helps bring the finish line within reach.
SMTP is a plain text protocol, which proves to be quite useful when searching for errors on the mail server. I can simply connect to port 25 via Telnet and then act like a mail client. By means of the server's answers, I can quickly see where the problem is – theoretically, at least. In practice, as you may have already guessed, things don't go that smoothly.
SMTP has become fatter and fatter over the years, not least because security functions were desperately needed. Although basic commands like HELO <FQDN> or RCPT are easy for me to type quickly, authentication with CRAM-SHA-1 no longer has anything to do with plain text as far as I am concerned, and any fun I might have been having is long gone.

Tech argument: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. IE vs. Opera
Indeed, Web pages have evolved into Web apps, to the point where we can do much of our productivity work in a browser window without ever having to invest in traditional desktop software.
But how much work can youA really do from a browser? Could you replace all of your desktop apps with Chrome extensions, and be none the worse for wear? After testing a bunch of Chrome apps, I found mixed results: Web apps simply arent designed to be complete replicas of their desktop counterparts. Although these apps have gotten a lot better in the past couple of years, you might encounter a few peccadilloes, and desktop software may still be the better choice for your unique needs.
That said, if you haven't been keeping a close watch on the growing power of Chrome extensions and Web apps, you might be pleasantly surprised by our top alternatives to popular desktop software.
Word processing: Google Drive Documents
No matter what you do for a living, you've probably spent some time using a word processor in the past week, probably even in the past 24 hours. Unless you're doing some very complicated work, you could ditch your word processor for Google Drive right now without missing a beat. Sure, the interface is different: You'll find no Ribbon of commands and functions at the top of the screen, and you'll see far fewer buttons. But Google Drive's Documents let you do all of the important things, such as format text, create titles and lists, embed images into your documents, and more.
If you often find yourself emailing Word files back and forth, Google Drive might be even better than its desktop counterparts: You can just invite another person to view your document, and you can both edit the document at the same time, watching each others cursors at work. Add Skype to the mix, and it's just like working in the same room, even if the other person is a continent away.
Other writing: Writer and Scratchpad
Compared with Words large Ribbon interface, Google Docs feels quite minimalistic. Still, sometimes even a slim toolbar can be distracting. WriterA is a Chrome extension (inspired by Writeroom for Mac) designed to provide a simple, clean, distraction-free writing environment; its just a black screen with monospaced text and a word count at the bottom. You dont have to worry about saving your documents: Writer will do that for you, automatically. You dont have to open an account, and you dont have to configure anything. Just write.
If you do want to customize the font or open a permanent user account, Writer will let you. But for those times when you just want to get some text down with a minimum of button-clicking and distraction, Writer is an excellent (and free) tool.

Calibrate Your TV Professionally
By Caroline Warnes | Friday | 21/07/2006
Cable manufacturer Monster and the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) have joined forces to release a DVD wizard for calibrating high-def TVs to professional ISF standards.
Displays are often set to unnatural levels to grab people's attention in a showroom setting. However when you get the display home, you may find the settings are too bright and need tweaking.
The Monster/ISF Calibration Wizard has been designed to show you how to make these changes for maximum performance, so you will see rich blacks, natural colours and a sharp picture.
The DVD will sell for $69 in retail outlets.

© Calum Colvin
Venus Anadyomene (after Titian) 1998
- Scottish Art
This photograph was commissioned by the National Galleries of Scotland and is based on Titian's painting of the same name, which is owned by the National Galleries. Colvin's work was created by painting onto a specially-created three-dimensional set, which was then photographed to create a two-dimensional image. The objects in the set, such as shells and photographs of people in the sea, reflect elements of the original painting. Colvin brings his Venus up to date with a twist – behind her left eye is a camera on a tripod, so the observed subject of the image is also the observer.

Love these stencils. I use them mostly for cards and art journaling. They're a perfect size for a 5x7 to 9x12 page. They're sturdy and clean up easily. For use with acrylics, put them in water if you can't clean them right away. I have a box full. They're especially great for the person who has no ability to draw!
Great for making cards. I love the choice of three different types of rain.
Great products and service

I had read reviews about several other vuvuzelas from different companies and they were very discouraging. Most were saying that they came cut in half in order to fit in the box. And then they would not work even if they were taped together. However, this is truly collapsible, hard plastic. My teenagers like it.

Chile Verde (Chile Stew)
This looked better on paper than in reality. That's the way it goes from time to time. Don't get me wrong, it's a good recipe. Just not a great one. Being a stew, I expect it to be better over the next few days as the broth mingles with the spices and meat.
You can easily replace the lamb with pork. Both will work equally well.
Also, in order to roast the chiles, place them under a hot broiler, 5 minutes per side. Remove the skin and they should be ready to use.
- 5 Medium Poblano Chiles, roasted
- 3 lb Lamb, Boneless Shoulder
- 1 Large Onion, Chopped, 1 Large
- 4 Cloves Garlic,Finely Chopped
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Juniper Berries,Crushed, Dry
- 3/4 tsp black Pepper
- 1 tsp Unbleached Flour
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/8 cup lemon juice
Take 2 of the 5 chiles and mince well. You should remove the seeds, but it won't kill you to have them in the mix. The remaining chiles you can chop into 1/2″ strips.
Cut the lamb into 1-inch cubes. Cook and stir lamb, onion and garlic in oil in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat until lamb is no longer pink. Drain the oil and water from the pot. Add the broth, salt, minced chiles, juniper berries and pepper to the pot. Heat to boiling; and then reduce heat to a simmer, cooking for an hour or so.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour with warm water; stir into lamb stew. Raise the heat to medium. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in sliced chiles and lemon juice.

Colorado sports fans now have a new rival: the Golden State Warriors.
Yes, put the Warriors name up on the "Colorado's Most Hated Rivals" board right next to the Oakland Raiders, the Detroit Red Wings and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After watching the first five games of this first-round playoff series between the Nuggets and the Warriors, I have found a hatred for Golden State I never knew I had.
Going into this playoff series, I had the feeling that these two young, fast-paced teams would provide us all with an intense playoff series. What I didn't see coming is that the Nuggets would have to eke out a three-games-to-one deficit to advance to the next round of the playoffs. The Warriors have done a great job of deflating the Nuggets' regular-season confidence with their three straight wins.
On Tuesday evening, the Nuggets finally acted like the Nuggets, and outlasted the Warriors 107-100 to bring the series to 3-2, with the Warriors still in the driver's seat on the series. It was a win Denver should have had by 25 points, instead of seven, but a win is a win and they are still alive.
Denver must go into Golden State's Oracle Arena on Thursday and win once again to force a game seven in Denver. The odds aren't in Denver's favor. Only eight teams in NBA playoff history have come back to win a series after trailing 3-1.
I will give Golden State the credit it's due. At times they have outrun and out paced the Nuggets in the series – it's something the Nuggets aren't used to. They have played better defense. The Warriors have done a good job, until Tuesday, at shutting down Denver's bigs.
Most importantly, the Warriors haven't missed shots.
In Golden State's three straight wins, Steph Curry simply could not miss. Every time he shot the ball, mostly three's, they went in without hitting the rim. He's proving himself as one of the NBA's elite shooters right now and, unfortunately, it's all happening against the Nuggets. In game 4, Curry scored 23 of his 31 points in the third quarter alone. The man is good, but it doesn't mean I have to like him or any of the other Warriors, for that matter.
My hatred for Curry began in game three where I found myself in a dungeon-like sports bar hoping the Nuggets could steal a win on the road.
It was sometime in the third quarter when the guy on the barstool next to me – he was wearing a Rockies hat – turned and began a long-winded conversation about how he had recently met Steph Curry and that Curry is just "the nicest guy [he'd] ever met." He went on and on about how Curry, unlike most pro players, really "keeps himself grounded" despite his stardom. I had to listen to this d-bag at the same time Curry was just lighting up the Nuggets from three-point land.
It was a frustrating night. I didn't like the guy sitting next to me. And I was beginning to really hate Steph Curry. The guy is good, and he is killing the Nuggets.
Denver's must-win on Tuesday night will be known as the game that marked the beginning of a new era of Denver-Golden State rivalry. Up until Tuesday, it was two young teams from the Western Conference going at it. After Tuesday, they were bitter rivals.
Following the game, Golden State coach Mark Jackson called out the Nuggets for sending a squad onto the court to take out Curry.
"They tried to send hit men at Steph," Jackson said in his postgame news conference, as reported on ESPN.com. "There were some dirty plays early. It's playoff basketball. It's all right. Make no mistake, we were up 3-1 [in the series], playing hard, clean, physical basketball, not trying to hurt anybody."
Jackson, who I once admired, took it a step further and suggested that the Nuggets' Kenneth Faried "took a shot" at Curry's sore ankle.
"That can't be debated," Jackson said.
Now, I don't remember seeing that specific play where Faried supposedly tried to take out Curry's ankle. It may have happened, but I didn't witness it. I'm pretty sure the refs didn't see it either.
Undoubtedly, it was George Karl's game plan to rough Curry up, and often. The Nuggets simply can't let Curry shoot at will. The game plan on Tuesday worked. Curry scored only 15 points and was left to argue with a fan as he exited the court.
And while Jackson said it's the Nuggets who are playing dirty basketball, it's really the Warriors who have been playing dirty. And yes, the refs saw this in action on Tuesday. Both Andrew Bogut, who is a whiny drama queen, and Draymond Green were given flagrant fouls on Tuesday. Bogut hacked Faried in the throat, and then Green hit Faried below the basket as if he was a middle linebacker.
If Jackson wants to talk about dirty basketball, he should bring it up in his own locker room. Green and Bogut have been playing dirty basketball this entire series.
"We're not dirty at all," Nuggets guard Ty Lawson told The Denver Post. "If you watch the first games, you see (Andrew) Bogut chucking people, Festus (Ezeli) hitting me for no reason. It's not dirty. We're just trying to even it out. We weren't trying to go after Curry – if he's coming through the lane, just make sure he doesn't get down there easily. If I get through the lane, I'm getting hit three, four times, illegal (hits) and everything. I'm not complaining. It's the game of basketball. You've got to man up."
If Tuesday's rough-and-tumble Nuggets win didn't set the stage for an intense game six in Oakland, the verbal jabs following the game certainly will. Yes, Denver has a new rivalry at hand. I'm not going to say that I hate Golden State as much as the Raiders, but anything is possible.
I hope the Nuggets hack the hell out of Curry on Thursday.

Based on the enormous popularity of daredevil Evel Knievel, Hanna-Barbera developed this cartoon about a stunt motorcyclist working in a travelling circus. Ernie Devlin was a popular attraction, and with the help of his brother Tod and his sister Sandy, they entertained the multitude of adoring fans (many of whom appeared to be following the circus from town to town to save on animation expenses).
In between shows, the small Devlin family would take it upon themselves to solve any mystery that might cross their path. Sometimes, the circus would be in danger of closing down, other times the town in which they had stopped would need their help catching a thief. Regardless, Ernie and his siblings would always solve the riddle before the show's end.

Ghost Towns Of China: Amazing satellite images show cities meant to be home to millions lying deserted
Overbuilding on a massive scale? Make-work projects to keep the people placated? What is happening in China?
Moderator: Nicole Marie
If there were ever any doubts about China's aggressive military intentions in the Pacific, its warning to Australia last week to choose itself a U.S. or Chinese "godfather" ought to remove all of them.
In what can only be construed as a direct threat to a top U.S. ally, Song Xiaojun, a "retired" Chinese general, told the Sydney Morning Herald that "Australia has to find a godfather sooner or later."
"Australia always has to depend on somebody else, whether it is to be the 'son' of the U.S. or 'son' of China," Song said, adding that Australia had best choose China because it all "depends on who is more powerful and based on the strategic environment."

How to Use Content Marketing & Segmentation to Re-engage a Dormant Database
Mar 14 2012
48 mins
John Sweeney, DemandGen & Renee Himelhoch Chemel, Senior Marketing Manager, Global Programs, ECI Telecom
Join DemandGen for another close up study of Marketing Automation in EMEA. Renee Himelhoch Chemel is a marketing automation and lead-gen advocate with a passion for driving high quality leads to the sales organization. As part of the centralized Corporate Marketing team, she is responsible for prospect and customer engagement. With almost two decades of high-tech B2B marketing and communications experience. Renee is a true believer in face-to-face marketing for the complex sales cycle.
A re-engagement program is a little like a first date. When you reacquaint yourself with someone, usually, your first statement wouldn't be, "Hello, I love you. What's your phone number?" That would be too forward and scare people away. Instead you want to offer the person something interesting about yourself that would engage him/her in conversation, or ask them a question to get the conversation started. By doing a little online flirting, you offer your potential customers a way to get to know your company.
By offering your audience an incentive, content, which is part of your market positioning, you begin that first conversation. As that conversation progresses you also begin to profile your customer with advanced segmentation. A re-engagement program is the first step in getting to know your customers better. Jump in and get started, because maybe if you're lucky - you will have them at "hello".

Michelle Levy AVP Marketing Programs, Lead Management, Next Gen Marketing Architect, ECI Telecom
Join John Sweeney as he shines a light on Demand Generation best practice. Today' webcast features Michelle Levy, AVP of Marketing Programs at ECI Telecom.
Marketers are under increasing pressure to show their contribution to the bottom line. They have evolved from a demand generation machine that was responsible for generating, nurturing and handing leads over to sales to marketers that are focused on bringing measurable value to their companyâs bottom line. The creation of the revenue marketer is the holistic approach to closed loop marketing and this requires sales and marketing to walk down the same path, hand in hand, with the same goals.
So how do we make that change? Michelle Levy, AVP of Marketing Programs at ECI Telecom will share the formula which led to her teamâs successful alignment with a global sales team and ultimately led to the repositioning of corporate marketing as a valuable contributor to the companyâs bottom line. She will share their step by step plan on how they leveraged cutting edge technologies together with dedicated support to show to sales the true value of alignment, and the measurable results of this process and the effect it has had on the sales pipeline, active opportunities and closed business where marketingâs influence has made its mark within the sales organization.

Inbound Marketing – Mehr Leads durch Online Marketing

Reinhard Janning, DemandGen - CEO EMEA
In 84% aller Fälle werden B2B-Geschäfte in der Anbahnungsphase durch die Website beeinflusst. Allerdings wandern in der Regel 70% der potentiellen Kunden wieder ab, bevor die Kontaktdaten aufgenommen werden konnten. (lt. Sirius Decisions; www.siriusdecisions.com).

Unter dem Motto "Get Found – Convert – Analyze" können deutlich mehr Besucher identifiziert werden und langfristig über sogenannte Lead Nurturing Maßnahmen entwickelt werden. Und das bei bis zu einem Drittel geringeren Kosten pro Lead gegenüber dem klassischen "Outbound" Marketing.
In dem Webcast stellen wir Ihnen das Inbound Marketing im Detail vor und zeigen Ihnen praxisorientierten Beispielen, die anschließend sofort umsetzbar sind.

OKLAHOMA CITY – A Henryetta trucking company owner pleaded guilty Wednesday in Washington County District Court to five counts of concealing stolen property and one count each for conspiracy and racketeering, Attorney General Scott Pruitt said.
Phillip Howard Hawk, 73, received a 10- year sentence. He will serve six years in prison and four years on probation. He was ordered to pay a $500 fine for each count and must pay restitution to the victims.
In July, the 13th Oklahoma Multicounty Grand Jury indicted Hawk and five others on 15 counts involving stolen farm equipment and vehicles between 2007 and 2011 in Craig, Nowata, McIntosh, Oklahoma, Osage, Sequoyah and Washington counties. A property estimate of the thefts was nearly $750,000.
The case was investigated by agents from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture.
The state's multicounty grand jury investigates criminal matters in all 77 counties, assisting local law enforcement as well as handling matters of state interest. The 13th Multicounty Grand Jury concluded in August with 25 indictments, charging a total of 31 individuals and was assisted by 113 state and local law enforcement agencies.

294 Lamp & Lantern Village, Town & Country, MO | Directions 6301738.623601 -90.517201
Not up to expectations – We went for our anniversary for the first time. We expected the food to be much better. We had the big night out since it was a special evening we decided to splurge. The cheese fondue was good, not over top just good. I could have done as well at home. The salad was again good but nothing special, just iceberg lettuce, fake bacon, 3 slices of tomato and dressing, again I could have done as well at home. The entree was nothing short of boiled meat...rather gross. The only way it was palatable was drowning it in some kind of sauce. Which they drove us crazy asking if we needed more sauce. Desert was so so. We had the flaming turtle. The flame part was fun. It came assorted fruit, a tiny wedge of cheesecake and 4 tiny cubes of brownie and red velvet cake. The cake and brownies tasted stale. Overall not at all what we expected for our meal that was over $80. My glass of wine was good, the atmosphere was nice, the server was nice and that's about it. No desire to return for boiled meat and veges, that we had to cook and pay way too much for.
We love this place – love the food, the atmosphere and the service is always top notch. So good!
Great anniversary dinner – We were greeted with a friendly smile, seated on time in our private booth. Waiter was on top of his game and the the food was amazing. We enjoyed the "Big Night Out" and left very full and happy. We will definitly be back to enjoy again.
It's hip to dip at this cozy fondue-lover's paradise. – In Short
Booths equipped with tabletop fondue pots are clustered together inside the intimate dining room. Start with a cheese fondue, including an assortment of breads, veggies and fruits for dipping. Entrees include lobster, center-cut filet, fish, chicken and vegetarian selections served with a variety of dipping sauces. For dessert, try the flaming turtle, a mix of chocolate and caramel flambéed tableside, served with nut-covered marshmallows, fresh fruit, pound cake, brownies and cheesecake.
Skimpy portions – Very nice atmosphere, good service, but my husband and I thought the food quality was unimpressive. We just didn't care for the flavor of the cheese fondue and found that the portion of our entrees (steak and lobster) were extremely small. The dessert tasted fantastic and had a delicious chocolate sauce, but the portions were very skimpy. For the amount of money we spent, we still left hungry. We won't be back.
superb – i surprised my girlfriend with red roses, and the private room in the back . she melted. We had so much fun, the food was awesome, service was incredible. Our server made ordering easy, and was always there when we needed.
most of all, they have the best drinks in town. we tried the Yin and yang, a vodka & ice cream drink, unbelievable; the white choclate raspberry martini, the mintchoclatechip martini, and the choclatechip martini.....all exceptional. and they've also got a peach cosmo, that's light and refreshing, and definitely tasty, which is actually aiding in raising money for St. Judes Hospital in memphis. The experience is awesome, but the people and the owners seem to have good hearts too, they are raising money for hurricane victims, for autism research, and the fore-mention St. Judes hosptial.
How can you not enjoy this experience!!!!!!!
User review by terilee – I suprised my husband here on our anniversary. He is the hardest man to please and he absolutely loved it! I reserved the private room. It was small, but very romantic. We have never had such fun. My husband wants to go there all the time now. The food was great and fun to cook ourselves. The service was good too. We spent about $150 with tip, but it was worth it. Highly recommend the curtained booth ( private room) keeps your romance private. Dark, romantic, fun!
I would also recommend for a fun dessert treat with your older kids if you have the money...
Over Rated – This chain store much like the others is way over rated. Save your self a bad meal. Eat at a chain steaak house. The food will be fresher and cheaper.
Can you say restaurant Chain? – Just like the others, its way over priced. The food was not even marginally good. Totally disappointed. At least the fast food restaurants serve it with a smile and give you change back!
WONDERFUL – I have been to the Melting Pot 3 times now and I have loved it every single time! It is a bit expensive, but it is well worth the money. The food is wonderful as is the experience. When you go, make sure you get the chocolate fondue! It is amazing!! They give you melted chocolate with all sorts of things to dip into it.......bananas, marshmellows, strawberries, brownies, and so much more!

text: Sea Stars Sea stars are invertebrates related to sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sand dollars, which are all echinoderms. Echinoderm means spiny skin, which is a reference to their hard calcified skin. Sea stars have an amazing ability to regenerate arms when they are severed, or an arm could potentially grow a new body in some species. They have many tube feet extending from the ventral surface. The tube feet allow locomotion via suction created by an internal water-driven hydraulic system. There are close to 2,000 species of sea stars in the world's oceans. Most species have five arms, but some have many more. Diet Sea stars are mostly carnivorous and prey on mollusks such as clams and mussels. Sea stars digest their prey outside of their bodies by extruding the stomach out of the mouth and enveloping the prey item. Size The smallest sea stars are less than an inch in diameter, while the largest sea stars can reach up to 3 feet in diameter. Range Sea stars are found in all of the world's oceans. Predators Many different animals eat sea stars, including snails, crabs, shrimp, otters, other sea stars, and birds. Back to the Top
